FEATURES

The beloved Cameo Cinema will once again showcase some of the summer's most talked-about films on its magnificent outdoor movie screen under the stars. From November 29 right through summer, audiences will get the chance to nestle down in deckchairs and beanbags, with craft beer, homemade choc-tops and freshly popped popcorn in hand. If that's not worth the drive out to Belgrave, then we just don't know what is.

The Cameo Outdoor Cinema summer program has us pretty excited — screenings have only been announced up until January, with February to April titles set to be revealed at a later date. The season includes big releases like the new live-action version of The Lion King, Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan in Mary Queen of Scots, The Frontrunner, Yorgos Lanthimos' surreal new one The Favourite and DC Comics' Aquaman.

There is plenty for families, with Emily Blunt taking the screen in Mary Poppins Returns, the new How to Train Your Dragon and pre-Christmas screenings of The Grinch and The Nightmare Before Christmas. And for those after a little retro fun, Labyrinth, Die Hard, The Lion King and Matilda are also on the bill.

It doesn't hurt that the Cameo concessions are a cut above what you'll find at your local shopping centre multiplex. They've got craft beer and boutique wines, edamame, and lollies from The Sassafras Sweet Co., to name but a few. Alternatively, you can bring a picnic of your own — this is one cinema where you won't have ushers pestering you about bringing in outside food.
